Water for Elephants

"A story of impossible love and a way of life lost forever. Orphaned, penniless, Jacob Jankowski jumps a freight train in the dark, and in that instant transforms his future... By Morning, he's landed a job with the Flying Squadron of the Benzini Brother's Most Spectacular Show on Earth. By nightfall, he's in love. In an America made colourless by prohibition and the Depression, the circus is a refuge of sequins and sensuality. But behind the glamour lies a darker world, where both animals and men are dispensible. Where falling in love is the most dangerous act of all..."
